What reading level is A History of American Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How crude his art is at times we see in the startling effect of blood on the sur- geon's right hand, in the portrait of Dr. W. D. Marks.
As a manipulator of the brush, however, he ranks with the best ; he does not stip- ple, cross-hatch, or glaze, but slaps his colours on the canvas with a sure hand, and realises solidity and depth. His 204 A HISTORY OF AMERICAN ART.
work may here and there be too severe to be called beautiful, but it is manly throughout — it has muscles — and is nearer to grea...t art than almost any- thing we can see in America.
His "Christ on the Cross," a lean, lone figure set against a glaring sky, — austere, uncouth, and diabolically realistic as it is, — is a masterpiece of artistic anat- omy, in the knowledge of which nobody approaches him in this country.
Thomas Eakins's art and personality remind one of the dissecting room (where he has spent so many hours of his life), of the pallor of corpses, the gleam of knives spotted with red, the calm, cool, deadly atmosphere of these modern anatomy les- sons with the light concentrated upon the dissecting table, while the rest of the room is drowned in dismal shadows.
